[Treatment of hemorrhagic syndrome caused by peritoneovenous shunt with a flow regulation device].
A case of severe coagulopathy after peritoneovenous shunting for intractable ascites and hepatorenal syndrome in a cirrhotic patient is reported. It was controlled and solved without removal of the shunt, using a vascular tourniquet which allowed a regulation of the ascitic flow. The method seems susceptible of improvement and could be routinely used in risk patients.
